Larry Eustachy has added another transfer to his basketball program at Colorado State.

Former Oregon guard Fred Richardson III has joined the Rams and will be able to play immediately. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

The 6-foot-6, 205-pound guard from Richardson, Texas, played in 10 games as a freshman for the Ducks during the 2012-13 campaign before last season transferring to Lee College in Baytown, Texas, where he averaged 15.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.

“We are excited to add Fred to our program,” Eustachy said in a statement. “We feel very fortunate to add a player of his caliber at this point in the recruiting process. He has good size and will bring a versatile skill set to our program. He has experience at the Division I level, and played in one of the best junior-college leagues in the country. On top of being a good basketball player, Fred also is a great student and a person of high character.”

Richardson is one of four transfers who will be new to the Rams’ roster next season. Former Iowa State guard Bubu Palo, who had reportedly committed to CSU earlier this summer, will not be joining the school, the Ames Tribune reported Tuesday.

The Rams have lost transfers Jon Octeus (UCLA), David Cohn (William and Mary) and Dwight Smith (Northern Arizona) since the end of last season.
